Abstract: A method to significantly reduce the need for treating bottom ash with a bonding agent, such as lime or concrete, as is typically done by Waste-to-Energy facilities within the United States of America. Furthermore it is a method that will greatly reduce the costs associated with freight, and disposal typically associated with WTE bottom ash by extracting excess water, metallic, and eliminating the need for supplemental additives such as lime or concrete.

Abstract: An emergency discharge control system for use with a cargo tank motor vehicle and a primary storage tank for remotely terminating the flow of product from the cargo tank of the cargo tank motor vehicle and the storage tank in an emergency situation is provided. The system includes a cylinder having a piston rod connected to a cable assembly of the cargo tank motor vehicle and a cylinder having a piston rod connected to a cable assembly of the primary storage tank for actuating the respective cable assemblies and closing the vapor valves and the liquid valves of the cargo tank and the primary storage tank. The piston rod is extended by passing pressurized fluid into the cylinder. A valve is interposed between the cylinder and a source of the pressurized fluid for controlling the flow of the pressurized fluid to the cylinder.
